| Abstract: | The condition is an uncommon widespread bullous eruption occurring in children, with a predilection for the orifices of the face and for the genitocrural region. It differs in some respects from both the adult variety of dermatitis herpetiformis and pemphigoid. A case of juvenile pemphigoid or dermatitis heretiformis is described. Oral lesions were present. There was a therapeutic response to dapsone therapy for a three month period, with no relapse after a one year follow up. Vaccination may have been the predisposing factor. |
